There are beautiful mountains and thermal water within 2 hours from our home. You can also enjoy trekking, rafting, climbing, and bathing in rivers nearby.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Here in Maipo the environment is completely different to Santiago, despite being so close.
Buses run every 15mins. to Santiago so Workawayers can explore the city for a reasonable price, or even you could go with me in a car when I am here.
Sharing meals and travel experiences is a very nice exchange.
Please feel free to read my feedback, as they tell you an honest account of previous Workaways experiences!Help
Any help is welcome! Help us in the garden, taking care of fruit trees and vegetables, help to improve some storage places, help fixing installations if we need. We could create mandalas outside, and any kind of earthship solutions.
Now we have a lodge which we rent for tourists and helps sustain our project. Preparation for guests stay is needed. Nothing intensive and still we maintain a relaxed environment for everyone!
Types of help required:
- house cleaning and general maintenance
- looking after our two dogs
- any suggestions to make more eco friendly
Specific talent needed for:
- extend/fix water sprinkler so that I don't need to water my garden manually
- planting vegetables in our garden, sadly all vegetable are dead now...
- creative art projects like mosaic, painting, decorations to make our garden more beautifulLanguages

We were into the secrets of Indian food and I learned a lot with her.
She took good care of the house and the dogs, and she did good job. She is a mart, and a talented artist.
She painted a dinning table surface and left us with a tasty jar of lemon pickles to us and new recipes of course !
